smickles: tiberiusiv: what's your point about price discovery and gox? I think i missed it and i don't want to read the log

splnkr: that figure is from 2 years ago isn't it

Bugpowder: I'm just annoyed that I had a 100BTC buy order at 52.139 that didn't quite get hit on the dip
splnkr: without a liquid means of exchanging non-BTC funds among exchanges, i don't see how they're one market
mod6: there needs to be a few more exchanges with just as much or more liquidity and volume which don't race eachother to "a bottom" but just find a happy stable price amongst themselfs
mod6: i don't think anyone should choose anything per-se
mod6: We have a world to conquer out there, and we don't want to end up like Unix.

Bowjob: i haven't done any mining, at all. this is my first time mining
MJR__: you lose some chips that don't work
Bowjob: I actually pointed it out to topace, seems like he didn't care at the time
Namworld: Don't people research/read contract/look at past history before putting some coins in?
TradeFortress: mircea_popescu, wasn't actually listed on the homepage for a while
mircea_popescu: o hey, their site doesn't load in my browser. so much win.
mircea_popescu: maybe there's parts of that i don't understand, but afaik...
mircea_popescu: they don't.
cads: unless these things give us provable cryptographic guarantees of anonymity, I don't trust it
mircea_popescu: but that's not to say you couldn't if you wanted.
mircea_popescu: the devs don't have much of a clue about many things.
cads: so I don't know how much to believe
mircea_popescu: who was saying options aren't high enough ? :D jurov ^

mircea_popescu: T is current N is next month
mircea_popescu: i don't follow the logic
mircea_popescu: they mustn't do anything. they do what they please,. buy, sell , whatever
mircea_popescu: and most wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it.
mircea_popescu: that won't help.
mircea_popescu: wasn't he dating the one on the lft ?
mircea_popescu: you're getting old aren't you :D
cads: if you think we don't have technogypsies you're wrong

jurov: hope he won't be angry that referral credits will mess with his neat accounting :)
jurov: wish you good luck but i think it doesn't work that way xD
mircea_popescu: don't trust anyone from Florida
mircea_popescu: don't trust anyone from Argentina or Brazil; or Russia or Ukraine, etc.
smickles: well, considering it was a joke, i don't think we made solid arrangements
jurov: i think the word "trust" isn't even mentioned on coinbr website for example, quite the opposite
benkay: you can't gamble with a thing's inherent value
mod6: because its not all bots, i know for sure, because im not a bot - at least I don't think i am...
mircea_popescu: could be they just don't like the community.
error4733: haha " You wouldn't have to commit Seppeku. You'd have an angry mob with pitchforks and flaming torches at the door....."
benkay: i don't mean bitcoin-dev
Bowjob: "a bitcoin is worth $72.50? are there any smaller denominations because otherwise these things wouldn't work that well outside large transactions. i.e. I'm not buying a pizza with 1 bitcoin when it means I'm giving the pizza joint a $58 tip."
smickles: error4733: isn't that guy in canada?
smickles: it's complicated enough that people don't understand it enough that confirmation bias sets in

smickles: mircea_popescu: oh please keep that trailing 0 in the mpsic, i don't want to recode things
jurov: just i don't get the crossed oix comment
mircea_popescu: cause i can add them, but kinda don't see the point, will have to change the notation anyway and that needs to wait till expiry.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, my q was more, are yo uactually looking to buy and can't or just general discussion ?
jurov: so i don't get why it's surprising that oix is crossed
jcpham: it doesn't fire
mircea_popescu: i also don't see where you get 2,4k ? no way he has 80oz
mircea_popescu: that's because you don't drink enough
jborkl: I don't understand usagi math
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah i wouldn't put my btc's on it.

mircea_popescu: you can't force good.
MJR__: well, I personally don't like disallowing weak passwords
mircea_popescu: MJR__ as far as i can see, the job of the provider is to ensure you don't get squished.
mircea_popescu: dude, it's a laptop. you don't need to isolate the power :D
mircea_popescu: as long as you don't connect it to the net ever, what's the worst that can happen ?
asciilifeform: also, in practice, most air gaps aren't. see Stuxnet & friends.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, ok, MPEx might be using cold wallets, kept on Mars. But most BTC users don't. and if you want to spend any, you have to defrost.
mircea_popescu: one way to get in may be to just buy bitcoin, if you don't think it's overvalued atm
mircea_popescu: robonerd i don't think anyone's lookingto give away hardware atm
mircea_popescu: wouldn't be the sole client. you've seen the faq right ?

asciilifeform: mpex hums along because a bureaucrat hasn't hit the "dump all win32/osx machine's BTC wallets to one address" key yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think mpex quite clearly showed you don't have to be.
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't hurt btc to be in the same position.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a slice of stake from the grocery also doesn't have a fixed purpose. you can cook and eat it, or put it out in the sun and wait for it to grow with thousands of flies.
asciilifeform: Reminds me of: "I remember someone saying that if it hadn't been for automatic switches in the telephone network, the entire population of planet earth would have had to be telephone operators to handle the load of telephone usage in 1993 or thereabout. I get the eerie feeling that because modern computer systems are so incredibly braindamaged in their design and in the tools used to program them, the entire po
mircea_popescu: thing is much like btc, the net doesn't have a fixed purpose.
